Is Life always picture perfect?

In our life we have clicked several pictures on various occasions; time flies very quickly when you are looking at albums or a slideshow of your pictures, they take you back in the memory lane and many times we get lost in them. We cherish those pictures a lot.

Best of the best pictures are framed which are in fact gentle reminder of our happy times; many people frame pictures of their achievement and hard work; that reminds them that they have the capabilities to come over the tough times.

And the ones which you dislike are deleted from your picture gallery or the hard copies are buried under old books. Yes we would always want our best memories to be placed in front of us.

When all is going according to our wish life seems to be picture perfect. And you want the time to just freeze and wish nothing changes. It is like picture perfect moment of life.

But to any person life always cannot be path full of rose petals, thorns are part of the path too, and this lesson needs to be imbibed in our children. We elders need to convey kids that though struggle makes the journey difficult but at the end you achieve the result. For example it’s like unless your hands are messed up in colors your painting isn’t beautiful.

Parents - Architects Of Our Life

Whom we adore, idolize, acknowledge our upbringing, achievements, and knowledge are none other than our beloved parents. They are precious.

From the day we are born our parents are always there to look after us. We are nurtured by our parents with utmost love and tenderness. They take utmost care with total devotion and make sure that their children are not devoid of any comforts. Our cheerful faces fill their heart with immense happiness. Their selfless love and faith is what we always cherish for.

Our parents don many kinds of roles for us. At times they act like kids, running every hook and corner for getting things done, like a friend with whom we like to share, a teacher for making us a good citizen. They mold our life and adds a meaning to it.

Parent and child learning is a two way process. Some times a parent tend to learn many things from a child. The latest trends and aspects are introduced to them through their young ones. The younger generation teach them the use of new technologies and gadgets to make their life more comfortable.

A child imitates its parents. We always observe and try to tackle with situations like our elders did. Their past experiences prevent us from repeating the same mistakes and acts as a shield against all odds. We always remember the moral stories told by our grandmothers, Those stories imbibed in us give us knowledge and to deal with various kinds of scenario in life with great fortitude. The values taught are passed on to next generations too.

Our parents protect us from worst circumstances. We feel safe under their guidance. They help us in selecting a righteous path and teaches us to assess what is apt for us. They always motivate and strengthen us by their blessings and support. No matter how old we become, we never forget the values taught to us and we always try to follow them.

Life - A Statement

When I receive the card statement I zealously open the envelope and keep aside all the pamphlets and the offers bank is providing to me and look upon the statement carefully. Though I know my expenses roughly I am more interested to look on to my earnings and to make out how much amount is credited to my account.

Simple cash back or a petrol surcharge waiver makes me say hurrah!! I know it’s only 2-3% of my expenditures but still that makes me happy.

Life many times to me feels like a credit card statement or similar to journal entry in balance sheet, as in debit and credit columns; our life too credit many things and debits few.

If considering life as a statement then credit and debit columns will be filled with a bunch of experiences few good and few bad. And each entry has a special place in our life’s journey. By each entry in column or I should say by each passing incident, we gain an experience which is priceless. Learning from such experiences makes us more enriched person and if we fail to learn then surely it shows its impact in future.

Living In A Time Frame

Millions n millions of people around the world jostle every minute to perform their daily chores on time, like attending office on time, reaching home on time, studying on time, eating on time, sleeping on time and lot more time bound activities.

We keep on performing our duties from time to time. The world around has become so materialistic where recreation has no space in today’s life style. We all of course strive hard each day for giving our family good life by providing them with all sorts of comforts they need. But we forget that it not the luxury and the gadgets what the family requires, it is the jolly time spent with them makes the bond stronger.

We should be thankful to god that we are gifted with a beautiful life amidst our loving family members and friends. It is the family which stand by us always. A happy family is a great asset. Spending some quality time with our family should be the primary and the most important duty. By rearranging our time a bit we can make our life more contented and it gives us eternal happiness.

Stop leading a robotic life with no emotions and values. Time is the only asset that we have. It depends on ourselves how well we utilize it to. One should not let work take us under its control and cripple us. Maintain an equilibrium in life. Set your priorities and devote your quality time accordingly for a balanced lifestyle.

Ponder for a few seconds why and for what are we running for? Are we really enjoying our life? Are we getting some quality time to spend with our near and dear ones? or we have just become the slaves of time.

A few things that could be taken up during weekends can be planning an outing with family for example for some nature walk and adventurous trips, playing with kids, trying doing things that you never tried out before and lot more keeping in mind the interests of each one. Be wild and crazy and enjoy life leaving behind all sorts of work load. A break from our daily activities refreshes us and boosts us to start afresh.
